I have a yellow tang and a powder brown tang that love the stuff.
I feed it to them once a week from my refugium.

I've had three types of sea urchins in my saltwater tank, and none of them have eaten any types of caulerpa (I have 5 of these, including grape). Urchins prefer the coralline algae that grows on the live rock (or sides of your tank), or they'll eat hair algae. They will eat some red algaes, but these produce an acid which erodes their 5 "teeth".

they may eat some of it. I have also read that seahares will eat it as well. I believe your best bet if your trying to get rid of it is lower the temp of the tank if possible just a few degrees and maybe add some sea slugs. then manually pull it out yourself by hand and use a brush to rub off the pieces stuck in the rock and try to net out any little pieces that come off. hope this helps and good luck.
